Darren,
You can use the cfa_user tag to handle updating the password. You
can change the username at the same time, but I have chosen to disallow this
feature by setting the username back to the original one in the profile.
Here is the syntax I used:
<cfa_user
action="Update"
userDirectory="userDirectory"
userName="#request.stUserProfile.label#"
passWord="#form.newPassword#">
As for the caching, yes Siteminder will in fact cache the username
password combo. There is a setting in the Siteminder console to
reduce/eliminate the cache, but it does not seem to affect things (even
after bouncing the service). If anyone has a workaround to this, I would be
greatly interested. Casey

Subject: Change/update password?
Folks,
We wish to offer our users the ability to update their passwords, from time
to
time. Is there, within Spectra, a way to do this programmatically, or must
we
resort to CFLDAP? I know this is not stored in the user profile object, but
rather siteminder, so I'm prepared for the worst ;-)
As a follow-on question, will we run into problems with siteminder caching
the
old password, and end up with an odd combination of both passwords being
accepted for a period of time?
Thanks in advance!
-Darren
